....yeah like an old girlfriend only more important.

I had a friend in college, also worked in a steel mill with him, we were 18-24 but had some money. He was "THE" gun nut, packed his loads, made his lead balls for black powder guns, hunter, the whole bit. He told his new wife he had his guns before he had her. He was the first guy I knew who saw Dirty Harry, went right out and bought a S&W 29 (same as post #1).

He offered me all kinds of guns, among them a beautiful double bbl 12 ga. among them for $85 (in 1974), geezzzz. What was I thinking?

Now he's moved away, guns and all.
